Born and raised in western Pennsylvania, Brynn Chapman is the daughter of two teachers. Her writing reflects her passions: science, history and love—not necessarily in that order. In real life, the geek gene runs strong in her family, as does the Asperger’s syndrome. Her writing reflects her experience as a pediatric therapist and her interactions with society’s downtrodden. In fiction, she’s a strong believer in underdogs and happily-ever-afters. She also writes non-fiction and lectures on the subjects of autism and sensory integration and is a medical contributor to online journal The Age of Autism.

So…I love
history. Particularly the periods between 1700-1900. I blame my father. When I
was young, he carted me around the country, forcing me to look, listen and
touch every monument and national wonder he could find. As a kid, it bored me
to tears. But apparently the seed planted—and grew into the quasi-obsessive
historian I presently am.

For my next book
in the BONESEEKER series, the setting is in an asylum. I make it a point to visit
the place I am writing about whenever possible. There is no substitute for
traveling the grounds on which your character will tread. This was no exception.

I have visited
the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum twice to date. The place is vast, chock-full
of history, scary, and layers upon layers of stories, just waiting to be
peeled—erm, told.

I am in medicine
by day—so my historical research tends to weave my layers to include this
sometimes dark, always fascinating, thread to my tales.

Wife worn out? Get thee a new one, just
deposit old love of life in ye old asylum.

And this one is
good as well. Rumor of husband murder. Rumor.

As I said the
place is rife with history, horror and human nature.

I, for one, cannot
wait for Henry and Bella to walk these halls. That said, Shall we have a sneak peak at
Arabella?

I open the door to the adjoining room and encounter three
long rows of institutional beds as men in varying states of disrepair and
wretchedness are sprawled upon their cots.

One paces
back and forth across the aisles, a human metronome with unseeing eyes,
blocking my progress.

I
stutter-step, waiting, as he makes his fourth turn, and bolt across the
now-open pass.

Another door,
another ward.

Women. Naked women, now.

Hands
grasp the back of my uniform to wheel me around. A pixie with ebony hair and
eyes, signs furiously.

My eyes
widen. I am aware of sign, but do not speak it.

“I’m
sorry, I don’t understand.”

Where is the caretaker for this room?

Pain rips
through my temples—driving all thoughts away as the nurse’s cap flies from my
head, sailing through the air like a cricket ball. It nearly unseats my wig; I
right it to spin around.

The women
hurl the cap and it bounces through their raised hands like a game of catch and
volley above their naked throngs.

I sigh. So
much for remaining anonymous.

Arms wrap
about my legs and I feel the catch and hitch of the woman’s chest as she sobs
against my knees.

A strange
guttural sound emits from her mouth.

I swallow.

Where to
begin? How could one person begin to right so much wrong?

My spine goes ram-rod straight; my typical response to any
emotion. To resist it, to think my way through it.

The girl
pulls a bit of coal from her sock—the only stitch of clothing on her pale body,
and scratches it against the cement.

I start to
pull away, but she claws my hand, her long yellowed nails drawing half-moons of
blood.

I stare down at the floor and my arms explode in
gooseflesh.

She has
scrawled, Here Walk the Dead.

So here is my faux Asylum-Byburret. I hope you
will follow Bella, Henry and I through its halls. It promises to be a long,
frightening nail-biter of a night.

OFFICIAL INFO:

Title: BONESEEKERAuthor:Brynn Chapman

Release Date:June 17, 2014

Publisher:Month9Books

SUMMARY:

Arabella Holmes was born different and raised different. After it became apparent she wouldn't fit the role of a proper 1900's lady, her father, Sherlock, called in some lingering favors, and landed her a position at the Mutter Museum. The museum was Arabella's dream; she was to become a purveyor of abnormal science. What her father called a BoneSeeker. Henry Watson arrives at the Mutter Museum with a double assignment--to become a finder of abnormal antiquities and to watch over and keep Arabella Holmes. An easy task, if he could only get her to speak to him instead of throwing knives in his general direction. But this is no time for child's play. The two teens are assigned to a most secret exploration, when the hand of a Nephilim is unearthed in upstate New York. Soon, Arabella and Henry are caught in a fight for their lives as scientific debate swirls around them. Are the bones from a Neanderthal ... or are they living proof of fallen angels, who supposedly mated with humans according to ancient scrolls? Sent to recover the skeleton, they discover they are the second team to have been deployed and the entire first team is dead. And now they must trust their instincts and rely on one another in order to survive and uncover the truth.

Having read so many mermaid novels and tales, I consider myself an underwater connoisseur.Here are a few fun tidbits I’ve discovered:When mermaids have a picnic on the rocks, instead of blankets, they lay out intricately woven seaweed carpets and eat foods such as seaweed soufflé and plankton pie. In 2011, i09 released an article revolving around Mer-physics.It talks about the ways in which the merfolk are able to use their senses underwater, from seeing, to hearing, to tasting and smell.For example, did you know that most of the mer are unable to see the color red?The color doesn’t exist at the depths in which they reside. According to many sources, mermaids mate and form li…

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and check out my Review Policy.

First and foremost: I only review books I enjoyed reading on this blog. Because of this, it may seem as though the reviews here are always favorable, but I am neither paid for what I type here nor am I a fan of every book I read. As a writer myself, I would never want to slam someone else's hard work. Authors put their hearts into what they write. Just because one person doesn't like a novel doesn't mean that millions of others won't love it. Just because I don't like a book doesn't mean you won't and vice versa. This is a blog for my personal opinions and I won't write bad things about an author that takes away a potential fan of that book. I may mention something I disliked in a book, but I will never post a bad review.

Primarily, I read/review more Teen books than I do adult or middle-grade fiction, but I am open to reviewing anything I have an interest in, especially in…
